Well, the around-the-ear phones are good too, but it is quite possible that ur ears MAY get inside them and after sumtime it pains..so buy one wich exactly fits around ur ears ..

well, (looking at the pics) the ON-ear phones hv a smaller cushion for the ears, so i recommend that... :)

i think around ear has better sound and on ear better comfort...would take demo of both and buy

yup, i too think so, coz of the big cushion tat we get for around-the-ear type of phone creates a surround sound type of environment better than the on-ear type..

but, the best test u can get for both is to test it out urself..:)
